Today, while sitting at a red light with my window down, the asshat next to me flicked his still-lit cigarette away. It landed in my car and wedged between me and my seat. It burned a hole in my shirt and my seat, and burned my back and hair. FML

Don't mean to be stereotypical, but most smokers that I've come across seem to be very inconsiderate. Fucking throw their cigarette butts on the ground, instead of putting them in one of those ash dispensers.

And not all smokers are butt flicking asshats like the guy OP encountered. The majority will put it in a bin or ashtray if provided. Agreed though that many throw them on the floor under the pretense that it is biodegradable. It isn't.

actually as someone who has to clean up all thr butts every morning outside their work i can safely say that MOST smokers do litter. either that or therr is one person eho can go through 5 packs everyday. there are smokers who are considerate in every way but in my experiencr i haven't met many.

45, some of those "ash trays" don't really hold the butts. The shape is too short, usually the ones on top of trash cans. Though, the one where I used to work was just deep enough except when it was windy. I usually stub them out and throw them away for that reason. Though, when I'm driving, as there is not allowed to be physical evidence in the car, I throw them low so they don't fly.

the ash bin we have is large and deep and is no way they can blow as it is fully enclosed apart from the slata for dumping the butts
plus the place i am finding the butts is far enough away rule out accidental littering

so what you are saying is because we expect smokers to clean up after themselves like everyone else we are anti smoking? and for the record the amount of butts i find everyday can not be one or even a small number of people. i dislike finding any rubbish lying around but the ciggarette butts are by far thr biggest problem.

No, expecting smokers to clean up after themselves is not anti smoking. Over generalizations based on the habits of some smokers and the slandering of an entire group of people most certainly is.

I'm sorry you have to clean cigarette butts up on a regular basis, i'm sorry as a grown man you have to do any cleaning like that. I'd be pissed too. But it's still not OK to take your little slice of american life and transpose those experiences onto some kind of world model for what smokers are like.

It's so simple. My experience as a smoker is one of consideration for others. We gave up a lot to make you all happy. And yet on the other foot all I seem to hear is negative bullshit from the anti camp.

I await the day we have to smoke in 'isolation' chambers located at least 5 miles radius from any form of civilization.

so i mentioned that in my little SCOTTISH slice of life i had to clean ip after many inconsiderate smokers and had experiencrd bad behavior from a lot of them and that is a generelisation? no that is my experience. all of my in laws smoke and apart from one incident of smoking around my kid after i had asked them not to i would say they are considerate smokers. what i will not put up with iw other grown ups expecting me to clean up after then and do their work while they are taking extra breaks. no other addicts get dedicated breaks.

Yes there is no other way to describe an arsehole other than calling him a derogatory term related to female genitalia. Yes there is no other way to insult this man without also insulting the entire female population.

Yes there is no other was to describe an arsehole than to use a derogatory term reheard to female genitialia. Yes there is no other way to insult this man than to also insult the entire female population.

Only one thing to do now... You'll need a rubber chicken, a dildo, three irradiated haggis, twelve gallons of anti wrinkle cream, and a sheep with its wool dyed purple. I'm sure you can figure out the rest...
